Shit-kicker Super Storm
13 years ago
That was some bad storm that pushed through here. I don't know how many of you journal readers keep up with the news but if you've heard about a nasty storm that swept through Ohio, Virginia, and West Virgina and had all three states issue emergency status declarations, well, that's what I and everyone else who lives around here just got hit buy several days ago. The storm knocked out power for most of the southern half of Ohio as far as I know. I got my electricity back recently but it's been out for several days. It may not be until the end of the week that most of the are has their power restored. I was away at Professor Awesome's house when it hit and I went home afterwards.
It's been NOT FUN AT ALL these past few days. No electricity for the whole area obviously means now power but it also means no water since the water pumps for the area got their power cut too. The whole grid got messed up bad! Since we couldn't get any water here at my house, I had to go two days with no water at all and since we couldn't find any ice, all the food in our refrigerator went bad quick due to the hot 90+ degree temperatures. Of course we didn't have much food to begin with so things got pretty bad here. I hate being unprepared for crap like this but I'm not in charge of the money and trying to convince my parents to prepare is like pulling teeth. Anyway, we got our power back on and have had to restock on everything. Going two days without any water screwed me up a little bit and I ended up getting my sleep cycle messed up as well. I've been awake for about 48 hours and I'm hoping I can get some sleep now. Have you ever encountered lag while playing a game online? It's really weird when you are so tired but can't sleep that real life starts to lag right before your eyes. I'm feeling better though now that I've gotten some water though I'm still mentally exhausted.
Due to all this stuff going on, my sister bought be a track phone so that way we can keep in touch during emergencies when the electricity and phone is out. A track phone would have came in handy two years ago back when my mom stranded me at Wal-mart intown and conveniently forgot to pick me up. I'm really grateful to my sister for buying me this and she even went ahead and bought me a minute card though I'm going to have to stick around the house for a while for that to come in the mail. I may have to pay for the minute cards after the first but that shouldn't be too much of a problem if I can find some employment...but if I don't, just having the phone already bought for me and some minutes to start off with is something nice that I've never had before and have a real use for as well.
I was intending to get back to Demordicai Diamonds AGAIN but it seems yet again my plans have been foiled for the week. If it isn't one thing, it's another. This time was a heck of a lot more of a serious distraction but it's still frustrating. Once my phone card comes in the mail, me and my sister will set up my phone and I'll probably head on back to Professor Awesome's house to hopefully work on DD66. It's strange how every time I get ready to work on it, some bad stuff happens that pulls me away from it. My mom has a major health crisis and goes to the emergency room, a nasty storm wipes out power for the whole area, I wonder what's next? Whatever it is, it seems like it's getting progressively worse. If I'm lucky, there won't be a nuclear holocaust, biological warfare, or Justin Bieber in town to pull me away from it again.
I'm just glad things are slowly returning back to normal. This storm definitely packed a punch and I really didn't need another storm to deal with after the ridiculous Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare to deal with. What a crazy week it has been.
Well, that's it for this journal. I'm hoping I'll be back to art and comic work maybe in several more days but it all depends on how fast the mail travels.
